Was the h bomb the first nuclear weapon?
No, the hydrogen fusion bomb was not developed until 1952. The first nuclear weapons were developed and used in combat in 1945.
What is a nuclear capable aircraft?
That is an aircraft designed to transport nuclear bomb safely to the area to be dropped. The first nuclear capable aircraft used in history was a B29 bomber named Enola Gay which was modified to carry the nuclear artifact.
No. Nukes are nuclear weapons but they suppose to use nukes to protect the earth not to destroy the earth. Eventually, nukes are not the best idea to use against other countries. We all know that nukes can win war but you should not use them.

Why used nuclear bombs at war time?
They're very destructive and last for a long time,
In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while

If you are looking for a metaphor, that is one thing. If you are looking for real life advice- no. That is a good way to shoot yourself. A weapon should be drawn and reholstered deliberately and with care.
What can prevent nuclear explosions?
The only way to stop a nuclear explosion is the disarming of the bomb either by cutting the bomb's power supply, the removal of the plutomium/uranium core or by disarming the explosive trigger.

How many nuclear bomb shelters are there in the us?
For all practical purposes there are no nuclear bomb shelters in the US. However there are fallout shelters, thousands of them. But they won't help anyone if a bomb detonates over their city. They will only help those in untouched cities survive a few weeks to months until fallout decays to "safe" levels. However few will know how to find one, most of the signs were removed long ago and many had their food and water removed.
Can a woodlouse survive a nuclear explosion?
Sounds like a good effects experiment. Obtain one nuclear bomb of known yield and a few million woodlice. Place a sample of lice on each point of a grid centered on surface zero. Detonate the bomb at a selected height/depth. Wait for fallout cloud to leave area of grid, then collect your samples and count living and dead in each. Map this data. Periodically repeat the sample counts and mappings.
Certainly a better experiment than using people or pigs in military uniforms as subjects.
Does Democratic Republic Of Congo have nuclear weapons?
no (at least not that we know of). However their uranium resources have been utilized in the manufacturing nuclear weapons (though the mine that supplied uranium has been closed since 1960). There are some concerns of illegal mining activity, but they do not pose a major threat in the issue of nuclear programs. Democratic Republic of the Congo signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and also has signed but not yet ratified the African Nuclear Weapons Free Zone (Treaty of Pelindaba).
just google it (:
What problem did the nuclear bomb solve?
